Tamron Lens Utility Gets Update to Ver. 3.0

Both the Tamron Lens Utility and the Tamron Lens Utility Mobile applications have been updated to Ver. 3.0 adding additional functionality and features for stills and video lenses.

Additional features with the Ver.3.0 update:

• Delay Time Start (upgrade to an existing feature)
  • This feature delays activation of a focus shift after the Focus Set Button has been pressed to activate. This is used to avoid shaking or button noises to be recorded when the Focus Set Button is pressed, and action starts.
  • In addition to the Focus Set Button on the lens, this can also be used with the Remote Set Button with the TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile.
• Focus Stopper (new feature)
  • This feature fixes the focus range when manual focus is operated during video shooting. This will prevent the user from passing over the focal point.
  • The stopper will automatically be released when switching to AF mode.
  • In addition to the Focus Set Button on the lens, this feature could also be controlled from the Remote Set Button featured in the TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile.
• Astro Focus Lock (Astro FC-L) (new feature)
  • This feature fixes the focus on stars, which is useful for astrophotography. The focus is shifted to infinity and operation of the focus ring will be disabled (locked). Locking the focus ring prevents the focus from slipping through inadvertent operation.
  • In addition to the Focus Set Button on the lens, this can also be used with the Remote Set Button with the TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile.
• Digital Follow Focus (DFF) (new dedicated feature only for TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile)
  • This feature allows you to fix a focus range between two points and perform focus operations from your smartphone screen, just like follow focus techniques. The direction of rotation of the aperture and focus rings, units indicated, and EV steps can also be changed.
